Maggie's famous Bruges Speech, where she sets out her views on Europe and it's evils. In her view the forces behind the expansion of the EU were out to 'extinguish democracy'.
Ted Heath was surely seething with anger.
Maggie gives John Major some advice about how to deal with the minor details of the Maastrict treaty. A treaty she so despised she organised many a bank bench revolt over.
John Gielgud & Edith Evans as John Worthing and Lady Augusta Bracknell in the famous 'handbag' interrogation scene in the play by Oscar Wilde
I feel Edith Evans' portrayal far superior to that of Judi Dench's, although I haven't heard or seen Maggie Smith's performance in the role which I am sure equalled or surpassed even that of Dame Edith.
A short extract from the Edwardian poseur's most famous speech. His wife Lady Dorothy had a long affair with Lord Boothby. Macmillan openly admiited that he went 'to bed with a Trollope'. He was not making a comment on his marital life, he meant a book of course, and was fond of the author Anthony Trollope.
It's people like Maggie who make you wonder why Britain gave up India. The 71 year old former Premier addresses the Tory faithful and bigs up the newly elected leader William Hague in 1997.
